    摘要: The present invention includes various embodiments of a BSA system that facilitates the collection of relevant health-related data on a continuous basis, integrates such data with pertinent personal and aggregate information, enables users to purchase (directly and indirectly) health-related goods and services, and provides credit, discounts and other economic benefits in connection with such purchases that are determined dynamically based upon the nature and extent of users' interaction with the system. The BSA system facilitates a dynamic feedback process by continually monitoring user interaction and medical and financial behavior, which results in dynamic adjustments to their credit levels and offers of discounts and other promotions, which in turn incentivizes users to continue participating in the process (thereby modifying their system interactions and behavior, and thus perpetuating this feedback loop). As a result, users are incentivized to actively participate in the process and thereby enhance their wellness while reducing healthcare costs.

    摘要: A method for the prediction of adverse cross-reactions between lead candidate biomolecules and potential reactant molecules, often biopolymers, is described. In a computational system, reactions are modeled within a suitable environment, in order to determine a reaction profile between a lead candidate molecule and a potential reactant molecule. A risk assessment is then generated for each lead based on a plurality of reaction profiles for the lead with respect to a plurality of potential reactant molecules. The method includes provisions for redesign and optimization of the lead candidate, possibly iterative in nature, in order to avoid predicted adverse cross-reactions.

    摘要: One embodiment relates to an apparatus for image processing. The apparatus includes a candidate edge chain identifier for identifying candidate edge chains in an image being processed, means for calculating a dynamic chain-based threshold function that is dependent on at least one characteristic of the image being processed, and a threshold applicator for applying the dynamic chain-based threshold function to the candidate edge chains. The characteristic of the image being processed may be global in that it is determined from the overall image being processed. A system may include an encoder or a decoder, both of which include the above apparatus. Another embodiment relates to a method for image processing. The method determines a dynamic chain-based threshold function that is dependent on at least one characteristic of the image being processed and applies the dynamic threshold to a candidate edge chain.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for analysis of molecular combinations featuring two or more molecular subsets is described. The method computes the shape complementarity of the system utilizing a basis expansion representing molecular shapes of the first and second molecular subsets in a coordinate system. The precomputed sets of translated expansion coefficients for the first molecular subset are first constructed via application of a translation operator to a reference set of expansion coefficients and then stored on a computer recordable medium for later retrieval. Then a shape complementarity score, representing a correlation of the first and second molecular subsets, is computed via suitable application of rotation operators to both the stored translated expansion coefficients of the first molecular subset, and the reference expansion coefficients for the second molecular subset, over the sequence of different sampled configurations for the molecular combination. The application of a translation operator prior to one or more rotation operator(s) has significant and beneficial implications for hardware-based implementations of the method, embodiments of which in the context of a hardware apparatus will also be described.
